Who is Kody Hughes?
I'm a 28 year old multimedia creative that lives in Pine City, MN. I've always had a passion for expression. Growing up with many of my family members owning their own businesses, I naturally wanted to help them promote these businesses in any way that I could. I picked up my first camera when I was 15 years old and I haven't put one down since. What originally started as a hobby and a way to help my family, quickly turned into my career path. I have always had a hunger for learning new skills and this has led me to pursue multiple different mediums when it comes to creative design. I have been doing freelance design and consulting since I graduated from the University of North Dakota in 2018 with my bachelors degree in Graphic Design Technology. When I first started doing videography I quickly realized how valuable having skills in graphic design and photography would be. I strive to be a well rounded designer that is able to complete a project independently if needed.
Outside my passion behind the camera I love being outdoors with my family and collaborating with other creatives. Design, videography, and photography has allowed me to chase my dreams and bring my family along for the ride. I've always had a passion for creative expression and idolized people who were able to turn creativity into their career. In 2020 I was hired by one of my favorite media companies OhhYouBetcha. In my 9 months as head videographer at YouBetcha, I learned many skills including content strategy, how to create emotion through story, and honed my editing skills. My passion for creativity and collaboration have allowed me to feel as if I've never really worked a day in my life. I love what I do.
